Tonian Low‐Latitude Marine Ecosystems Were Cold Before Snowball Earth

Abstract Precambrian marine carbonate strata are commonly assumed to have formed in warm‐water carbonate factories due to the temperature dependence of non‐skeletal carbonate precipitation rates. However, some climate models and geological observations suggest that global climate was cool for tens o...
